A LIST 



OF ALL THOSE 



WHO ARE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN MEMBERS 



First Church of Christ 



IN NEW LONDON, 



From the Beginning to January i, iqoi. 



NEW LONDON : 

CLARKE & KEACH, PRINTERS, 

1900. 



EXPLANATORY. 



In the following List the names are arranged in alphabeti- 
cal order, and under the particular Clergyman who was Pas- 
tor of the First Congregational Church in New London, at 
the time when said members severally united with it. 

Up to the pastorate of Dr. Field, married females are 
designated by their family names, as well as by the names 
which they have acquired by marriage. The surnames of 
their husbands are usually printed in italics, prefixed to their 
own name when they were married previous to uniting with 
the church, and affixed when they were married afterwards. 

Members who have united themselves to this church by 
certificate from some other church, have printed against 
their names the words, "by letter;" and those who have 
transferred their connection from this to some other church, 
have against their names "removed." 






ij> 



Names of those known to have been Members of the 
Church previous to October 5, 1670, whose names are riot

*The records state that Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Hill were received into the Church

only those about whom we know positively.

Church. 

At each annual meeting a standing committee shall be 
appointed ; said committee to consist of the deacons and

lecture, or on any Friday night, previous notice having been

any Friday evening meeting. Notice of important items of 
business must be read from the pulpit the Sabbath before 
they are acted on. 

V. ADMISSION OF MEMBERS. 

i. Time of Admission. Unless otherwise ordered by the 
Church, members shall be received into its fellowship on

2. Admission by Letter. Candidates shall present their

received on profession of faith. At the point indicated in 
the form of admission their names shall be called and they 
shall come forward and assent to the following Covenant : 
Do you who come to us from sister churches thereby renew 
your Covenant with God into which you have already entered ? 
In entering into the fellowship of this particular Church, do 
you accept its statement of faith, engage to submit to its 
watch and discipline, to labor for the promotion of Christ's 
Kingdom through it, and to be true to your duties and obli- 
gations as members of it ? do you thus promise ? 

3. Admission by Profession. Candidates shall be examined 
by the standing committee and shall by vote of said com- 
mittee, be propounded not later than the second Sabbath be- 
fore the communion at which they are to be received. At

ted to the Covenant, the pastor shall ask the Church to arise

give them the right hand of fellowship on behalf of the 
Church. 

VI. DISMISSIONS.

All letters shall be granted to some evangelical church. 

2. Dropping Names. Names may be dropped at the re- 
quest of persons themselves upon the recommendation of the 
standing committee. This implies no censure. Other names

may also be dropped as in the first case. 

3. Removals from the Parish. Persons permanently re- 
moving from this parish shall be expected to take letters to 
some convenient evangelical church within a reasonable 
time, unless there is good reason to the contrary. 

VII. FORM OF ADMISSION. 

[The Pastor shall read the names of those who are to be received into the Church. 
As each name is called, the person shall arise and come before the altar. Then the 
Pastor shall address them as follows :] 

i. Address. Dearly Beloved: — Believing that you have 
been drawn by the Spirit of God, you have presented your- 
self to enter into one of the most solemn compacts possible, 
and to perform^one of the most important and joyful acts of 
your life. Should you cling affectionately to that Redeemer 
whom you are now about openly to avouch, you will never 
cease to feel the blessed effects of the dedication you are 



49 

about to make, aud you will ever rejoice that God brought 
you to this hour; but if your soul draw back, and you put 
your Saviour to an open shame, this deed and this hour shall 
he everlasting witness against you. 

Yet, beloved, we hope better things of you ; and, though 
we have thought it meet thus to admonish you, it is with the 
calm and cheerful hope that He who has called you in His 
love, chosen you in His merciful purposes, and adopted you 
into His family of grace, will never leave you nor forsake you. 
but will keep you by the power of His Spirit unto the end. 

You have been deeply convinced of your personal sinful- 
ness ; you have heartily repented ; you have believed in the 
forgiving love of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, without 
which, forgiveness is not possible; you have dedicated your 
heart and life to Him ; that dedication you are about to renew 
before the world, being duly mindful of Christ's injunction 
that all confess Him before men. 

Believing that if the Holy Spirit had not drawn you, you 
never would have come to this hour, you will now give your 
assent to the following statement of faith, and to a covenant 
between you and your God, and with this Church. 

2. Statement of Doctrine. In the presence of Almighty 
God, the searcher of hearts, and before this assembly, you 
profess your unfeigned belief of the Holy Scriptures, as given 
by divine inspiration ; your acceptance of all the doctrines 
contained in them ; and your submission to the whole will of 
God revealed in His word. 

Particularly, you believe that the Lord Jehovah, the Father, 
the Son, and the Holy Ghost, is the one living and true God, 
that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God, equal with the 
Father, and the only Saviour of men ; that the Holy Ghost 
is also God, and that He is the only sanctifier of those who 
believe in Christ to the salvation of their souls. 

You also believe, that in consequence of the fall of man 



5o 
from his primitive state of innocence, all the human race, 
while in a state of nature, are destitute of holiness ; and that 
a renovation of heart during the present life, through santifi- 
cation of the Spirit of God, is necessary to fit mankind for 
union and communion with the visible Church of Christ on 
earth, and for an entrance into the kingdom of Heaven. 

You furthermore believe, that all who are the subjects of 
the renewing and sanctifying influences of the Divine Spirit, 
exercise supreme love to God, benevolence towards men, re- 
pentance of sin, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose 
righteousness forms the only ground of justification before 
God, and that the law of God still remains their rule of con- 
duct. DO YOU THUS BELIEVE? 

[At this point the Pastor shall say : do you who were offered to God in baptism 
by your parents in your infancy, now publicly assent to their faith and make it your 
own? Those who were baptized in infancy shall respond in an audible voice, we 
do. To such as were not baptised in infancy, the rite shall now be administered.] 

[The Pastor shall say : you will now give your assent to the following Covenant 
in recognition of the duties which you assume on entering the visible kingdom of 
God on earth.] 

3. Covenant. Humbly hoping that you are a subject of 
the new birth, of that faith in Christ which works by love 
and purifies the heart, and of that repentance which is unto 
life, you avouch the Lord Jehovah to be your God, Jesus 
Christ the Son of God to be your Saviour, and the Holy 
Spirit to be your Sanctifier. 

Depending on divine grace for sanctifieation, consolation, 
and spiritual strength, and receiving the Word of God as the 
only rule of your faith and practice, you submit to the 
brotherly watch and discipline of this Church of Christ ; and 
engage on your part to comfort, assist, warn and reprove its 
members as becometh a faithful follower of Christ. You do 
now solemnly give up yourself and all that you have, unto 
God; promising that you will endeavor to walk as becometh 
the Gospel of Christ, that you maj r give no cause for others 



5i 
to speak evil of it on your account, but that the name of God 
may be glorified in you. do you thus promise? 

[The Pastor will here call the names of those who are to unite by letter, who 
shall come forward and assent to the following Covenant.] 

Do you who come to us by letter from other churches, 
thereby renew your Covenant which you have already made ? 
In entering into the fellowship of this particular Church do 
you accept its statement of faith, engage to submit to its 
watch and discipline, to labor for the promotion of Christ's 
kingdom through it, and to be true to your duties and obli- 
gations as members of it ? do you thus promise ? 

[The Pastor will here ask the Church to arise.] 

On your thus professing and promising, we receive you into 
this Church, and admit you to the full enjoyment of all its 
privileges, — promising, through Divine Grace assisting us, 
to aid you in the duties of the Christian life by our prayers 
and fraternal watchfulness, expecting in return, the same 
offices from you, that the purposes of this holy Covenant 
may be answered. The Lord make us faithful to himself 
and to each other. 

[The Pastor shall give each the right hand of fellowship for the Church.]
